Publisher's summary

When a severed head is left on the steps of Newgate Prison, Lord Redmond and Inspector Haze are left with few clues to solve the murder. Even after the victim is identified as the prison’s hangman, narrowing down the number of suspects proves difficult when the victim was responsible for dozens of deaths, leaving a long list of relatives who might have wanted revenge.

Jason and Daniel must delve into the grim world of a career hangman in order to discover who had loathed him enough to perform an execution of their own.

Excellent series and character development all the way thru the series and emotional connection with the main characters

An Enjoyable Mystery with Intriguing Characters

Disclaimer: I received a complimentary code in exchange for an honest review.

This was the first Redmond and Haze mystery I’d experienced, but it won’t be my last. The story was extremely well-crafted and the characters were interesting and sympathetic. Though I hadn’t listened to other books in the series, I had no problem following the history of the main characters. The details regarding past occurrences and cases were masterfully inserted as were the clues to the current mystery.

The only minor point of contention is a personal one. At times the narration seemed slightly stilted and slow. But that’s more of a personal preference.

Overall, a great listen!

The Devil is in the Details

I really enjoyed the details and the way they were presented. Irina Shapiro entwines the characters in such a way that you can’t help but feel connected, even the ones who are guilty,

Great next Murder Mystery story for these friends we truly care about

Wonderful! It took a while to get use to the soft voice of the reader (kept falling asleep if listening at night). But, after about 9 chapters became fully involved.

Another captivating story

Great story, hard to stop listening. The actor does great except for the American accent.

Narration ruins story for me again

I really like reading the Redmond and Hayes novels by Irina Shapiro however, I cannot say that I enjoy the Audible narrations. I particularly dislike the narrators, who seem to whisper throughout the novels. I am disappointed in Audible narrators with a few exceptions and I feel as though I’ve wasted my money more often than not.
